Directions

For the mixture:

Combine all the spirits in a sturdy sous vide bag.

Take one piece of maple wood roughly the size of a lemon—Carroll buys his at a local gourmet market, but you can also find online at amazon.com or fruitawood.com—and char in a wood-fire oven or with a crème brûlée torch. Look for a nice, toasty char before removing.

Once the wood stops smoking, place it directly in the bag with the spirits.

Place the sous vide bag in the machine at 150°F (65.5°C) for 6 hours.

Strain.

For the cocktail:

Combine 8 tablespoons of the sous vide infusion with ice, stir, and strain into a coupe cocktail glass.
